I did “make compiler” in $(source)\compiler and copied the resulting executable to my scratch directory. No wonder I didn’t find out the error.

Do I need to run the test suite with the old compiler first? -- Best regards, JC Chu _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
